If hippies were hauled in front of a revolutinary court for crimes against humanity, the prosecution would have a wealth of evidence to back their case for execution - Jonothon Livingston Seagull, Alternative therapies, Dress sense, Karma, selfishness, Charles manson- the list is endless.A shot in the back of the head seens pretty much a certainty


What would you produce for the defence to mitigate these crimes ?

I don't think you get it hunkyd.


Hippies (real ones) are a little like proto-hippy Jesus and are quite comfortable with the whole "prophets are not without honor except in their own country and in their own house " (Matthew 13:57 cf . Mark 6:4, Luke 4:24) thing.


Far from seeking to defend themselves against the revolutionary court they would revel in being persecuted and prosecuted for their lifestyle/beliefs and would declare their feelings of 'peace and love' for their oppressors even as the guillotine sliced into their unwashed necks, leaving the 'righteous' to (eventually... eventually) face up to what they had done, realise it was wrong and indulge in mass wailing and gnashing of teeth... or at least a vague sense that they may have been a bit harsh.

"...or at least a vague sense that they may have been a bit harsh"


That made me laugh very much :-)


Tend to agree - hippies'd probably take great succour from persecution and probably make it a recruitment drive. Any thread dissing hippies is counter productive.


How about Vietnam though? Didn't that cost about 2 million lives? If the hippies hastened the end they might have saved 2m more.


The numbers probably seem a bit big to contemplate, but it's worth taking a moment to consider the scale of that pointless and vindicitive American imperialist slaughter.

Did anyone catch the All Watched Over By Machines of Loving Grace last night?

I particularly liked the bit about the hippy communities breaking down because their attempts at sweeping away power structures simply meant that the bullied had no means to stop the bullies.

ie hippies are just as bad as everyone else, just smugger about it.

My understanding of a hippy, are a group of people manly in America in the late 60s early 70s that dress in the native American style clothing and have this utopia way of thinking I don?t remember a hippy movement in London certainly not where I was growing up in the 70s maybe there might be a few in the suburbs at that time. Now I think most of them are now working for the Third Sector;-)

    • But what are you basing that judgement on? Vibes? where exactly and under what council is money being spent wisely? what about parties which promise to cut waste, come to power and find out there is no waste?   
    • I've just had James from Trelco round doing taps and hot water.  Prompt, efficient and pleasant people and the cost came in under what we thought it would be! Will definitely use them again.
    • Yes - adult care is a large part of the CT bill.  That does not mean the council spend our money well or wisely.        
    • “What do councils spend all the money on?” Is, in my view, one of the most profoundly emblematic of our times  we go about our lives, backed up by councils and governments and complain they aren’t needed  reform win elections based on “we’re gonna go in and slash all the waste!” Only to later admit there effectively isn’t any oh and by the way we need to increase council tax   Now all we have to offer is racism and ineptitude sorry about that  https://www.gbnews.com/money/reform-elon-musk-doge-failed-savings So where does the money go? On a multitude of services - but the increasingly aged population and the care provision required is a large part of it  the government could give councils more money to avoid council tax rises  - but the we would have to pay more in jewels taxation  and as a country we tend to pay less than other similar countries  so we end up with an expensive mend and make do approach  I don’t see any political parties offering a solution   Starmer is obviously lacking in many areas but he is the result of a hostile media and a reluctant population willing to hear truths  (wait until we hear how much we will need to increase defence spending by in the coming years) If a party stopped pretending all the money was wasted but published a list of costs, projections and proposals that wasn’t gutted to suit the landscape of needing to not bemonstered by the press or deemed too expensive by voters I would be very interested      can’t see that happening tho  (also worth reminding ourselves of all the brexiters who said things like “I don’t care how much it costs   I don’t care if I lose my job  it’s about taking back control!” And yet now we find them complaining about increasing costs. As they always will complain about everything  because it’s always someone else’s fault)
